A note of caution: this material isn't really suitable for being
dumped en masse into Commons just now. as it won't have much metadata
beyond "an image, unidentified, from a book on subject X". See
https://www.flickr.com/photos/internetarchivebookimages/14595431897/
for an example of what the automated labelling is like. It's certainly
useful to keep an eye on, but we'll need to hold off until some of the
identification work has been done :-)
We went through this with a similar collection from the British
Library -
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:British_Library/Mechanical_Curat…
- which is slowly being migrated, bit by bit.

Thanks, Gerard!
This seems like a great idea.
I believe that Liam Wyatt and Andrew Lih are reaching out to the project
leader, to see if he needs help uploading some of that content to Commons.
Music to my ears :)
